Re: AVG updates grant full control to Everyone, changes owner? said by psloss:In the screenshot, you can see where the other ACEs are inherited from, but not the one that came from Avast (it says "Parent Object", which I infer to mean that even the OS is confused). Actually, this happens when file permission are set using the command-line cacls.exe utility. I use cacls.exe at work to set custom perms for legacy programs, and this weird "bogus inheritance flag" happens every time I use it. I just passed it off as a strange bug, and though nothing more of it, as it didn't hinder the effectiveness of cacls.exe.

It certainly doesn't change the effectiveness of the ACE to have an inherited flag from nowhere. I didn't see anywhere in CACLS to reset inheritance -- are you aware of how to do that with the utility?
Thanks,

There are some other annoyances with cacls.exe. Microsoft really didn't do a very good job with it.
